THE GAY BUTTERFLY.
Its Interesting Metamorphoses From
Caterpillar Into Winged Beauty.

Its Interesting AIetamorphoses From =
Caterpillar Into n Winged Beauty.
The butterfly lays its eggs on tho
tree, shrub or plant whose leaves are
to furnishfood for the young. From
these eggs in time emerge caterpillars,
which eat ravenously for few days,
and increase rapidly in size. Soon
after becoming full grown the caterpil-
lar ceases eating for time andthen
enters its second stage, and becomes q
pupa, or chrysalis. 1t then gets rid of
its intestines, changes its skin. sus-
pends its body to the under side of
some object. either by its legs or by a
little rope Of silk which it produces.
The pupa case then breaks and the
butterfly, with its crumpled wings,
emerges from it. This ends the second
or chrysalis stage, and the third stage
is entered on. The wings gradually
strengthen, and the third stage ends by
the complete transformation of the for
mer caterpill ar into the fully developed
butterfly.
The duration OF this Transformation
varies according to season and other
conditions. Generally. If the egg is
laid in spring in the temperate zone
the caterpillar appears in week or
two. In summer the eggs are hatched
quicker. but II deposited in the latter
part of the fall the Matching process is
not completed until the following
spring. Il the caterpillar appears in
the spring or summer it may enter the
pupa stage within two weeks after
emerging from the egg. and the but
terfiy may begin its existence ten days
later. In the cases where the pupa
stage Is entered late in the autumn the
perfect insect may not appear until the
next spring. In such instances sort
Of hibernation takes place. Soon after
the butterfly becomes full-grown it re-
produces, eggs are deposited by the
female, and both male and female die,
the object Of their existence being ac-
complished. 81 Louis Globe Democrat.

Sketch OF the Duke Of Cambridge, Conn.,
mnnder OF the Rritish Army -.lzt
One of the results Of the recent war
scares has been to bring prominently
before the public the great military
chieftains of the age. A considerable
amount Of ink has been devoted to
biographical notices of such Generals
as Count Won MoltlSe. Boulanger,
Gourko and Ghazi Osman Pasha, but.
singularly enough, all mention of tho
remarkable warrior of the age-name-
ly, Field Marshal the Duke of Cam
bridge. Commandcr-in- Chief Of the
British infnitesimal army, has been
omitted. Born two months before his
FIRST cousin. Queen Victoria. he spent
all tho early years of his life at Han
over, where his father acted of Viceroy
until 1887, and subsequently at Berlin.
The inevitable consequence thereof
is that he is somewhat of martinez
on the subject of discipline. and that
he speaks English with very strong
German accent. He is tall, finely
built man. with white hair and whis-
kers, an apoplectic neck and rubi-
cund face. which shows traces of good
living. His manner, when not storm
ing at delinquent soldiery, is bluff.
frank and hearty. He is fond of good
cigars, good dinners, pleasant women
and nap after and sometimes even
during his meals In short, he is o
good kind of an honest old fellow, who.
however. at times, is guilty of the most
pig-hcaded obstinacy and prejudice.
The only time when he had the oppor-
tunity Of displaying his prowess on a
battlefield was at the Crimea, where
he showed great pluck personally, but
lost his head altogether as leader.
He has had many love affairs,
which eliminated in morgantic
marriage with a very estimable
woman who is altogether unknown to
society. but by whom he has numer-
GUS family. Two of his sons, the
Coloncls Fitz George, form part of his
official staff, while another of his boys,
Captain Fitz George of the royal navy.
has distinguished himself in the sister
service. Taking him altogether, he is
one Of the most popular members of
the royal family. The people know
that with all his faults he is man of
warm and loyal feelings, and that he
has uniformly comported himself 10y
ally and well. He is a good son, and
never let's day pass without walking
around to st. James Palace to spend
half an hour with his old mother, the
venerable Duchess Of Cambridge. 1t
may be stated in conclusion that he is
very sensitive to newspaper criticism,
and was recently much distressed at
being lampooned for having appeared
at an inspection of troops with an um-
brella held over his head to keep off
the pelting rain. IN Y World.

two outside pieces and used rs mar
riage ring at the religious ceremony.
Wedding rings at this period wero
not the plain bars of gold they are now;
sometimes they were adorned with
precious stones. but more frequently
the clasped hands and heart symbolized
the significance of the marriage state,
and posies or words engraven inside
breathed an appropriate sentiment re-
spccting the token. Here is one sim
gularly suitable to a wedding ring,
adorned with olaspcd hands: "Not
two. but one, till life be gone"
In some places the wedding ring was
an heirloom in the family, passing
down from mother to daughter, from
generation TO generation, the mother
surrendering the ring TO the first girl
in the family who married. This GUS
tom obtained in Galway, and probably
does still among the fisher folk of that
wild district the device Of the ring
usually being the common one Of tho
two hands, surmounted by crowned
heart The fourth finger of the left
hand, counting the thumb as the first,
has among most nations been chosen
as the wedding finger, owing to
popular belief that nerve in this par
ticular finger communicated directly
with the heart 1t was also for the
same reason, held TO possess mystic
powers of healing, and still is used by
some people in stirring up medicine or
like potions. relic Of the old Greek
and Roman belief that no poison or
noxious element in a draught could
